FILE - In this May 26, 2014, file photo, Thailand's coup leader Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha arrives for a press conference in Bangkok to announce the country's king had officially endorsed him to run the nation after the armed forces seized power in the previous week.

On Monday, May 22, 2017, a bomb exploded in a military-run hospital in the Thai capital, wounding 21 people on the third anniversary of the 2014 coup. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit, File)
